Sara was a great guide. Everyone was so nice. The wines were great and the views were amazing! Will do it again next time we’re here.

The car, wineries and sights were beautiful. Amazing country side with stunning views, however the driver was supposed to be a guide and he was not. He just drove us really fast and when I asked to take a picture at a spot we could stop he said we were late. No conversation or explanation at all except for winery guides. The boat ride had a nice view what the mountains from the river but that took one hour just going in a circle .

My Fiance and I could not be more happy with our tour with Alex. He was punctual, funny, so informative, and made our expereince so memorable. Alex was right on time with pick up and made our car ride so fun. We were with 4 other people from all over the world and he had us engaging with everyone and giving us history about the valley as we were driving through. I would HIGHLY reccomend doing the small tour, it was personable, we had plenty of time to drink wine, enjoy the scenary and the wine cellars. Alex made our trip amazing and we could not ask for a better day

Our guide was punctual, well informed and super friendly. Knowing more about each Quinta (Vineyard) ahead or our arrival would have been useful. We were very lucky that the whole group was very compatible
